Come on, defense!
 

I was sneaking, safe-falling and binding wounds in EC to max out my skills on my little level 8 monkling and I noticed on my little skills window that defense just turned 43.
Now if I check my skills in the inventory screen it shows as only 40 and is red. WTF up wit' dat? :confused:

You might be confusing defense skill with armor class

i'd say check again maybe take a screenshot and post?

Fixed, pending update. Monk defense cap is supposed to be (level * 5), not (level * 5) + 5.
